What's new, well the builder is coming back on Wednesday (fingers crossed) to build the stairs up to the roof. That will take a week to set and then he will start on the walls.
We are slowly getting rid of all the rubble in the ground floor rooms. Process has slowed due to Mohamed discovering that he had another exam (today). The teacher had originally said that he would just give marks based on their classwork and work handed in but he only managed to mark a handful before he was taken seriously ill and died! Mohamed's was one of the marks he had given but we are not sure if they still stand or if everyone has to take the exam so .... Apart from that he has been doing well, at the top of his class or near it in all exams.
We, well I, had a nice day yesterday pottering around upstairs, grilling aubergines, courgettes and peppers on charcoal and then bottling them in olive oil.... and then we had lunch of grilled chicken and salad sitting at my table - all very civilised, cutlery and everything.
I went back to the doctor last week and despite my attempts to convince him otherwise he insisted that I keep taking the Lyrica and come back again in 2 months. I think this will be the last visit, regardless of what he says - unless something disastrous happens in the meantime.
I heard from Kate and Douglas from Innes Street and they are planning a trip to Morocco in September. Douglas is going to Essouira for a week long course on film making so Kate is going to come here and I think we might have a trip to the Saffron fields in Talaouine as it will be around harvest time.
Hope you are all well.
